Good News! Pyjamas on (almost) all Qantas international flights in J!

[SeatBackForward]

Is this in economy?

Crew handing out pyjamas:"You are all Individuals!"

Everyone getting changed before takeoff: "Yes, we are all individuals"

Me: "I'm not".

So what are the 'almost' flights that miss out? I googled and top hit was this thread

Surely NZ and South Pacific, maybe Bali, Dili?

 

[p--and--t]

I prefer the QF PJs. The QR ones feel a bit scratchy on the skin and too warm

 

[drron]

Rather expensive PJs I would have thought. Not going to get me to consider QF.

 

[MelbFlyer]

I've still got my pair of PJs from my SIN to MEL overnight flight from 5 months ago - haven't even unwrapped it!

 

[Danger]

If NZ flights are excluded, I would suggest "almost all" is almost certainly not accurate.

Suspect anything in a 737

PER-SIN included?

Will be fun prior to landing with 28 odd pax wanting to get changed in a single loo.

I believe PER-SIN is one of the routes that is not included.

 

[dajop]

I guess it’s cheaper than improving catering. ..... I'll take book the cook over PJ's on a daytime flight thank you!

That's pretty poor IMHO given the SIN-PER sector IMHO is very much a night flight. People get on board, eat and go to sleep. If it's a cost thing, charge J pax another $5 which would cover the cost of pyjamas and provide a consistant service.

If it's QF72, I can somewhat see why Qantas won't offer PJs - it's a "dinner time" service essentially and the flight time is too short to get proper rest.

Even my last QF flight - QF36 SIN to MEL was only around 7hrs and even though that was an "overnight" flight (leaving SIN at around 8pm, arriving MEL around 6am), I didn't really have enough time to get proper rest after having dinner and before breakfast.

If you skip both meals, then maybe.

If on a 737 though I can completely understand why PJs aren't offered - at least on a widebody one could theoretically "change" into their PJs within their suite - on my QF36 flight there was one person who did just that - they pretty much put on the PJs over their existing outfit and then removed their "outside" clothes from underneath their PJs whilst at their suite - for the bottoms though they did go into the lavatory (thankfully). On a 737, half the aisle would be lined with people to get changed.

With J you're paying for options to be available. I took QF72 last week. I was exhausted. Got on board, had some cheese and slept till the top of descent. Everyone is different. It's a bit like alcohol. Not everyone drinks it, but the option is there should you want it.

Sure, it's not a full night's sleep. However, what does it matter? Sleep is sleep.

So even though you’re tired you can’t sleep without airline provided pyjamas?

I don’t like long pyjamas, would much rather short sleeved top and shorts style bottom for PJs and the option is not there on any carrier should I want it, should they provide those as alternative too?

As a result, I bring my own even if airline is providing them.

 

[jase05]

I don’t think that’s the point.
I’m in agreement that you should offer a product right across the board.

 

[MEL_Traveller]

I think this is a good step! PJs aren’t just for sleeping. They save your clothes getting wrinkled, and stop your clothes getting food or drink spills.

Bit of a random question to throw at my given I didn't even hint at having that issue.

I took QF72 last week. I was exhausted. Got on board, had some cheese and slept till the top of descent.

In fact, my statement clearly shows that's not an issue for me.

I don’t like long pyjamas, would much rather short sleeved top and shorts style bottom for PJs and the option is not there on any carrier should I want it, should they provide those as alternative too?

However, they don't provide short pyjamas on any route. At least they're consistant.

My point is, be consitant with the product offering rather than catering to every individuals pyjama style.

Cheap solution to minimise complaints about catering @MelbFlyer ?

 

[Quickstatus]

Not going to get me to consider QF.

You could buy them here and still fly BFOD.

 

[drron]

But the only time I wear PJs is in hospital.
